BioMetaphor: AI-Generated Biodata Representations for Virtual Co-Present Events
Lin Lin, Ming Wu, Anyu Ren +3
In virtual or hybrid co-present events, biodata is emerging as a new paradigm of social cues. While it is able to reveal individuals' inner states, the technology-mediated represen…
Step-3 is Large yet Affordable: Model-system Co-design for Cost-effective Decoding
StepFun, :, Bin Wang +195
Large language models (LLMs) face low hardware efficiency during decoding, especially for long-context reasoning tasks. This paper introduces Step-3, a 321B-parameter VLM with hard…
Scaling Inference-Time Search with Vision Value Model for Improved Visual Comprehension
Xiyao Wang, Zhengyuan Yang, Linjie Li +6
Despite significant advancements in vision-language models (VLMs), there lacks effective approaches to enhance response quality by scaling inference-time computation. This capabili…
